    Had shock this morning!

    One of my horses has a problem like that when he was younger. The vet said he had locking stifles, and the only way to help him (not get rid of it) is to ride him, and do lots of uphill work, and walking is best. I also put him on cortaflex, and after a while he got a lot better. Still has a...

    Help for sensitive soles...

    When our horse had her shoes taken off (she’s getting old and we only ride her a couple of times a month) we bought her some of the boa horse boots and once she was used to them she was going fine, and they last longer than I expected them to!! You could also try the "feet first" supplement...

    Supplement advice for elderly mastiff

    Advice from RUBBER MAT users please

    I use straw with my horse so I thought the same thing and put mats in. we were told the stable were 12'by12', so the mats would fit perfectly. but theyre not that size, and the mats dont fit as well as they should. the only thing I find is that: if you have a really wet horse the stable...

    Best Nicknames?

    Clicky Back Leg (or hip?)

    I had a pony that had clicky legs and it turned out that he had locking stifles and we had to do lots of riding up big hills and it improved the clicking but he was still a bit stiff sometimes.
